There's several types of good Ironsides. There's the noir-ish ones that pop up, with mysterious characters and melancholy lives, there's the ones that focus on 1970's cultural issues such involving race, drugs, Vietnam, etc., there's character studies of the main characters, there's episodes with guest actors (hello William Shatner!) where just watching them is a blast - and then there's episodes that are over the top, entertaining, and wild! This is one of them!
This is One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest meets Perry Mason meets House of Frankenstein meets Boris Karloff! There's a whacko nurse, Ironside goes undercover in a nursing home and gets shoved over by Nurse Ratched, and Dracula himself, John Carradine, if featured. For the Boris Karloff reference, the wonderful Harry Townes appears, who was in a fantastic Thriller episode called "The Cheaters." Thriller was hosted by Karloff. Finally, Jon Lormer is in it, he of classic Twilight Zone.
Finally revel in the performance of Ruth Roman. She's nuts, and wonderful.
So sit back and enjoy and have some fun.
